PeaceLoveCycle Cloth Pads

PeaceLoveCycle cloth pads are a fairly new cloth pad company ran by a sweet, SWEET girl.. Her name is Charity and her customer service is absolutely OUTSTANDING!! She can be found on Facebook.. I first found her on youtube, and she posted videos of pads she had made for herself, which were super cute.. I was secretly hoping she would make them and sell them as I was watching said videos Ha ha.. Lucky for me, some other lovely ladies with youtube cloth pad review channels convinced her to do just that :-).. She uses quilters cotton, flannel, and has just added a couple of minky top fabrics.. Her bottom fabric is a water resistant fleece, which not only protects your panties, but it helps them grip your undies so they won't move.. She also has two styles, she calls them "curvy" and "straight" cut (shown above)..

Pictured here are her "curvy" style cloth pads.. These are all ten inches in length (she offers 8 inch, 10 inch, and 11.75 inch lengths).. The first one is a cotton topped, Eco Trees print pad in moderate flow, marked with a dark pink ribbon near the snap so there is no guessing on absorbency.. The center pad is a flannel topped Umbrella print pad in moderate flow, marked with a dark pink tag as well.. And lastly, I am showing another cotton topped, purple batik print pad in heavy flow, marked with a red ribbon.. Her interior absorbancy is made up of a bamboo/cotton blend batting, making them super absorbent.. Bamboo has the ability to absorb moisture, 3-4 times that of cotton and also has amazing wicking abilities helping to make you feel dry.. 1 layer is-light (light pink ribbon), 2 layers is-regular/moderate(dark pink ribbon), 3 layers is for-heavy(red ribbon), and 4 layers are for-super(black ribbon).. Since she has chosen to use a bamboo blend, it helps to keep her pads EXTREMELY trim.. They are so thin, you can hardly feel them, which is AWESOME!! They are comparable to ultra thin disposables in thickness..


These two, are her straight cut option.. I really like both styles, but if you choose to buy from her, one isn't better than the other, it is just a matter of preference.. I suggest ordering at least one of each style, to see which type fits best for you.. The two pictured above are an 11.75 inch, flannel topped, heavy flow, and a 10 inch, cotton topped, liner.. I forgot to mention that her liners are marked with a white ribbon and has one layer of flannel inside.. I absolutely ADORE her pads.. I don't like to choose "favorites" because all brands are great, in their own right; but I will admit, that these are definitely some of my "go to" pads :-).. They are so soft, and comfortable, and the trimness is to die for.. They feel just like your undies, you seriously can't even tell you are wearing them.. She color coordinates her snaps with the print that you choose, but she also offers clear snaps which is so great, because when you order a print (like the pink batik above) and she uses clear snaps, you don't lose ANY of the gorgeous print.. I love, Love, LOVE these pads, you just can not go wrong with PeaceLoveCycle pads.. And, can I just add, HOW 80's do these two look?? Ha ha, I love it :-)

Her prices start at $5 for an 8 inch liner, up to as much as $10+ for 11.75 inch super absorbancy.. I say $10+ dollars, because you can add as many layers of the bamboo/cotton absorbent layers as you would like and it is 25 cents, per extra layer.. You also have an option to add a second snap for a tighter gusset, which would be 25 cents a snap.. She is very affordable, and I highly suggest you check out her stuff.. Oh, AND she ships her items to you in recycled packaging which is too cute for words, and makes your reusable product even more Eco Friendly.. She totally ROCKS!! It's worth taking a look right?? What do you have to lose?? And her prints are so darn adorable, which is a major plus, but also makes it even more addicting Ha ha..

Crest and Influenster are Awe-SOME!! :-)

So, I am new to blogging, as well as an influenster.com newbie.. I must say, I can not be more pleased.. First off, influenster is so amazing at what they do.. Their website is amazing, not to mention fun :-).. And I thank them for allowing me the opportunity to try products for free so that I can review them and pass on the my personal opinions on said products.. So with that said THANK YOU INFLUENSTER and CREST :-)

I received my VoxBox fairly quickly and was so excited to try it out.. I was completely surprised to find that my product was in fact, the Crest 3D Whitestrips.. I have had a chance to try them, and the new Advanced Seal technology is absolutely AMAZING!! I used to use Crest Whitestrips before, and I honestly got frustrated with them.. I used to have major slipping (especially on the bottom teeth) BUT, the new technology freaking ROCKS :-).. There is absolutely NO slipping on top OR bottom strips, which means you are secure in knowing that you will see results.. In fact, the new technology is SO great, that it is literally like a sticker on your teeth.. You have to really PULL to get them off, so you have comfort in knowing that they won't budge while wearing them, you can talk and everything and they stay put :-)

The main bullet points that makes this product so great, are as follows:
  •  A whiter smile after just 3 days
  •  Full results in 20 days
  •  Professional-level results at a fraction of the cost vs. light & laser systems
  •  Revolutionary Advanced Seal technology for no-slip whitening
  •  New improved lower strip for more whitening coverage

I am also impressed with the option to "flash whiten" (as I call it) your teeth by using one set of strips for 2 hours.. I used this method for the first night, and it was A-MAZ-ING!! If you are wanting a quick whitening, to get a little bit brighter smile before an event, such as a Homecoming Dance, or Winter Formal, or Prom, or for the older demographic, maybe a Military Ball, the "flash whiten" option is the way to go..

You will not see full results, until you have used all of the strips in 20 days.. I am only on day 3, but I am excited to come back after the 20 days and share my before and after pictures..

My Flash Review = Pure Awesomeness!!!
